In a recent Smithsonian article on Ansel Adams' color photography work, one can not help to wonder what else Adams may deserve to be known for.

Those of us in the world of landscape photography know him as the father of landscape photography, master of the darkroom, and maestro of the monochrome; but many forget that he was a talented portrait photographer and also a very sought after color photographer.

Dave is the Director of Communications for Volunteers of America - Northern Rockies. Raised in the western suburbs of Chicago, IL, he moved to the west when he was 20-years-old, and he “is never looking back.” Dave has two passions, one for the outdoors and one for photography. To this end, he spends much of his time in the ecosystems in and around Yellowstone National Park. This gives him a perspective on the wildlife and the ecosystem that few have. Dave is also an adjunct faculty member at Rocky Mountain College in Billings, MT, where he teaches middle- and upper-division photography courses. Working as photographer, Dave’s assignments include everything from commercial work and journalism, to wildlife and landscape photography. His extensive time in the field shows through in online galleries which are loaded with images of the fragile places he travels to. His work can be viewed at www.DaveShumway.com.
